This invention relates to scarf-fastening devices, and more particularlyto a comb device arranged to hold a scarf in place over the wearer'shair.

A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improvedscarf-fastening device which is very simple in construction, which iseasy to use, and which provides a very convenient and readily accessiblemeans for securing a scarf to the wearers hair.

A further object of the invention is to provide an improved scarffastener of the comb type which is very inexpensive to manufacture,which is neat in appearance, which is sturdy in construction, and whichprovides a reliable means of fastening a scarf to the wearers hair.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparentfrom the following description and claims, and from the accompanyingdrawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a pictorial view illustrating a scarf secured to a womanshair by the use of an improved fastener constructed in accordance withthe present invention;

Figure 2 is an enlarged front elevational view of the improved scarffastener employed in Figure 1;

Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional detail View taken on line 33 ofFigure 2.

Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Figures 2 and 3, thefastener is designated generally at II, and comprises a comb I2, to theback of which is secured a flat, elongated strip of soft, penetrablematerial, shown at I3, said material being, for example, felt or thelike. The strip I3 may be formed at one longitudinal edge thereof with agroove I4 which receives a rib I5 formed on the back of the comb andwhich may be secured to said rib by the use of suitable cement or thelike. As shown in Figure 2, the strip I3 is coextensive in length withthe comb I2 and, as shown in Figure 3, the strip I3 is substantiallycoplanar with said comb. Designated at I5 is a pin which may be insertedthrough the strip I3 in the manner shown in Figure 2, said pin beingsubstantially longer than the strip I3.

In using the device, the comb is first inserted in the wearer's hair andthe scarf, shown at I6 in Figure 1, is placed over the wearers hair withthe front edge of the scarf overlying the penetrable 2 strip I3 of thefastener II. The front edge portion of the scarf I6 is then secured tothe strip I3 by means of the pin I5 by inserting the pin through thescarf and the strip I3 in the manner shown in Figure 1. With the upperfront edge portion of the scarf I6 secured as above described, theremaining portions of the scarf may be disposed in the usual manneraround the wearers head, and the ends of the scarf may be knotted, asshown in Figure 1 at IT, in the usual manner.

The fastener II may be made in any desired color to match the color ofthe wearers hair or the wearer's costume, and the pin I5 may likewise befurnished in desired colors.

While a specific embodiment of an improved scarf fastener has beendisclosed in the foregoing description, it will be understood thatvarious modifications within the spirit of the invention may occur tothose skilled in the art. Therefore, it is intended that no limitationsbe placed on the invention except as defined by the scope of theappended claim.

What is claimed is:

A scarf fastener comprising a comb having a back formed on its edgeopposed to the teeth thereof with a centrally disposed longitudinallyextending rib, and a relatively flat elongated body of soft penetrablematerial having its bottom edge formed with a channel for socketing thrib and having a convex top edge, said body being coextensive in lengthwith the back of the comb and having opposing convex sides ofsubstantially larger radius of curvature than said top edge, said sidesprotruding outwardly from the sides of the back of the comb.
